                         David was known to the family as Uncle Dave or by Unk.  He staye d with his
first cousin, William Simeon Henry and Williams wife, Sylvia Robert B arley, as
a boarder for about 40 years.  When they moved to Montana from Missou ri, he
moved with them.  He worked at the Anaconda Copper Mining Company fro m  1918
until his death in 1945.  He enjoyed his work and did not want to ret ire.  He
was the inspector foreman of the copper refinery.  With about a fourt h grade
education he worked up to a position of leadership.  He had to approv e each
batch of copper bars or plates before they could be shipped from th e plant.  He
never used tobacco or alcohol.

       His insurance and war bonds were all made out to his grandnephew , J.
Robert Gillis.  This money was used to provide one year of support fo r a master
of science degree, to purchase a new 1950 Chevrolet, and as down paym ent on our
first home which was in South Salt Lake.  Inasmuch as I was responsib le for the
funeral and burial costs, I gave him an LDS funeral as he attended n o church.
